M EDIUM FOR TREATING OILS AND METHOD or MAKING THE SAME.

No Drawing.

The present invention relates tome-diufns v for cracking, refining or otherwise treating hydrocarbon oils and coal tar oils; and it has for its object to produce a medium' possessing highly advantageous physical-.. and

chemical forms for containing a stable bypochlorous salt composition having a large amount of available chlorine.

In carrying out my invention I employ bentonite or other hydrous-aluniino-silicate as the base and the vehicle 'for carrying the chlorine compounds in somewhat the same manner as in my prior application Serial No. 171,082. .The present invention may therefore be regarded, in one of its aspects,

as having for its object toimprove the compound forming the subject matter of the aforesaid application.

In producing my improved medium, I 10 form a jelly by immersing a'highly colloidal bentonite clay orother hydrous-aluminosilicate in water. To this jelly-like substance is added a solution of calcium chloride and then a solution of magnesium hydroxide. The compound or mixture of bento'nite jelly, calcium chloride and magnesium hydroxide is then treated, usually for a period of somewhat less than an hour, with chlorine gas resulting product is dried by evapoby any usual or suitable absorption process.

Application filed April 21, 1927. serial No. 185,664.-

rating the moisture at as low a temperature as possible. The resulting product is very stable, being similar to that forming the sub- 40 ject of my aforesaid a p ication, but containing a larger amount of available chlorinethan the latter.

Whenmy improved compound is added to the oil before or 'duriniz the cracking proc-. :5 ess, the heat ofthe process liberatesthe chlorine which then acts as a catalyzer and assists in the cracking operation.

As in the case of the product'described in my aforesaid application. the present. 'com- .10 pound or'composition may be used for antiseptic or disinfecting purposes by adding thereto a water soluble acid in powdered form, or some chemical compound that will develop acid upon immersion in water. :15.

I claim; I

1. A hydrous-alumino-silicate admixed with'calcium chloride, magnesium hydroxide and chlorine.

2. The process of producing an oil treatto ing medium which consists in addin to a hydrous-'alumino-silicate jelly calcium chloride and magnesium hydroxide, and treating {he mixture with chlorine in the presence of leat.

3. The process of producing an oil treatin medium which consists in adding to a hydrous alumino silicate jelly. calcium chloride f and magnesium hydroxide, 'andtreating themixture with. chlorine at a temperature of from F, to F.

.In testimony whereof, I sign this specification. 1
